Family Car everyone in the Family will Love

2021 Hyundai Palisade Limited 4dr SUV AWD (3.8L 6cyl 8A)

Highly recommend buying this car. I’ve been car shopping for awhile now and this car was the best option at the best value. The exterior with its grill and wheels gives it a nice look on the road. The interior is luxurious and practical. I was blown away by all the features like heads up display, multiple camera angles, cooling/heating seats and my all time favorite passenger talk. The kids love the large moon roof and all the usb outlets. Most importantly even the kids in the third row are comfortable. This was a step up from our Toyota Sienna and we don’t regret buying this car at all. If you need a car that will seat all your kids comfortably and drive everyone in style at a reasonable price then this is the one for you.

Palisade SEL

In purchased this vehicle on Sept 31. 2020. It has 2 packages that add a lovely array of features that make it worth every penny spent . The interior is quality. Functionality is above par . The third row seats adults comfortably( I’m six feet tall and I fit fine) the only thing is that Hyundai should include the upgraded stereo in the technology package. Is an ok system but I would really like the Harmon Kardon system better. The ride is great but doesn’t appear to take bumps well, I believe this to be the tires that Hyundai uses. I will upgrade them soon to see if this resolves the issue. Mileage has been fair , but not great , about 25 MPG on the highway . City about 19. The exterior of this vehicle is stunning. Way more elegant than the Kia Telluride. I love the look and design of this SUV. Overall after about 1000 miles this SUV has far exceeded my expectations . My wife loves it too. Overall after looking at the Honda Pilot and several other competitors the Hyundai Palisade is head and shoulders above the competitors. A warranty that is 5/60k bumper to bumper and a power train warranty of 10yrs/ 100k miles is amazing . I’m confident that this will put a smile on our faces for years to come. Proud to have this beauty in my Garage .

Not so nice

I bought a 21 Palisade 12/26/20 since then I have issues with the electrical such as unlocking the doors and the radio disconecting. I have had 3 cracked windshield and 2 cracked front passenger windows. Also when selecting Drive, Reverse or Park I have to press a few times sometimes for them to actually engage. This to me seems like a safety issue but Huyandai does not think so since they can not make it happen in front of them they will not even entertain the issue. Would I buy another Huyandai...probably not unless something happens to fix these issues.

Great SUV for tall people!

2021 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy 4dr SUV (3.8L 6cyl 8A)
13 of 13 people found this review helpful

My husband is 6'4" and has a very hard time finding a car that provides enough head and legroom, and usually the person who has to sit behind him suffers due to his seat position. We were on the hunt for an SUV that would provide generous head and legroom for the first two rows, and preferably all three rows. The Palisade won us over immediately! It is so spacious, my husband can actually comfortably sit behind his own front seat position. We have two boys who are also going to be very tall, so this is great for all. We also were blown away by the smooth ride quality, quiet interior, and upscale interior. We researched and test drove the Highlander, Enclave, Q7, RX-L, and 2022 Acura MDX. The Palisade won by a long shot. They could charge much more for this SUV. The biggest headache was locating one. We purchased the Calligraphy trim and had lots of drama from dealers. Our local dealer wanted $10K over MSRP and told us if we won't pay it, someone else will. We walked out. After numerous calls to dealers without any luck, we found one 2 hours away for typical asking price. So, be careful and check what they are trying to charge you - because these are in high demand some dealers are taking advantage of the situation.

Vibration & Humming Sound 45 mph - 80mph - AWD SEL

Purchased an AWD Palisade less than 2 weeks ago and it has been in the shop for two days. Rotated and balanced tires and said the vibration was fixed but humming was still there. Picked vehicle up and the vibration was worst. Vehicle is back at the shop. I did a ton of research before purchasing this vehicle and am very disappointed and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
